The PLC to HMI message interface is handled by the ALARM_8P block. You have to configure the messages through simatic manager. It is all explained in this manual. |
Programming today is the race between software engineers building bigger and better idiot proof programs, and the universe producing bigger and better idiots. |

Hi, I assume that you are using PCS 7. If not, please tell us, because message handling using Step7 and WinCC is slightly different. For starting with PCS 7 I would recommend reading the two getting started manuals. They are good to get a feeling how the systems is working. You can find this document installed on your system (Start > SIMATIC > Documentation > Language > PCS 7 - Getting Started Part 1 and PCS 7 - Getting Started Part 2). I could write a whole bunch of infos according messages. But I think everything you need to know is already written within this website. Siemens did create a lot of knowledge documents according their product. Except the manuals you also have so called FAQs containing a lot of How-To-Do this or that insider knowledge. Check out this FAQs according messages (there arre more, but the two are good for the beginning): http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/20390353 http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/de/770488 If you have further questions feel free to ask. |
